Today we just finished the last of the OATS or the Ohio Achievement Tests. I have to admit, the Math test was way easier than the Reading test, Because first of all you don't have extended responses and second of all you actually get to work out the problem instead of filling in bubbles and writing about the story. The best thing is that we get a lot of candy! Mrs.Griffey gave me 15 pieces of candy.

Kevin is right. Every word is part of a picture. Every sentence is a picture. It is like a movie playing through your head a you read a word. If you say the word snow I see a snowman with red gloves and a green scarf, blizzards and much more. That is when your imagination connects them together. Just with one word I thought of many things, with a whole sentence I could think of the scenery, the snow covered hills, and even in my Star Wars book I can see the clashing lightsabers, I can even hear the lightsabers clashing! When I first heard Kevin say that in the movie I had know clue what that meant until you said it slow and now I get exactly what it means Mr.McGuire.

2/9/09Star Wars Episode III
Anakin turned to the dark side of the force so now he hates his best friend/Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Anakin said that he made his wife turn on him,so they got in a fight,and unfortunately Obi-Wan won. But Anakin / Darth Vader lives,and seeks revenge on Obi-Wan.


12/22/09 Star Wars Episode III
I think Anakin should think before he does something.Today he almost got KILLED for not thinking.So Anakin you think more than use the force.Like today when you all most got killed Obi-Wan because he hit the wall.That was crazy!So from now on you should think before you do something.It's that or die.
your choice.I said die because you almost died!!!

1/21/09 Star Wars Legacy
One thing that happen today is that Obi-Wan got a new padawan named Anakin Skywalker. Obi-Wan has to watch his Jedi training,and tell him what he does wrong. Just by reading a little bit about Obi-Wan I think he will be a good Master.

12/10/08The Christmas Rat
Eric woke up in the middle of the night and went to the basement to check something.Another important thing is that Anjie threatened Eric.When Eric went to the basement Is important because Eric did not want the rat to die.If the Rat dies then he wont have anybody to play with.His Christmas is boring.
